I see it this way....would ya shoot a seen predator on the other side of the fence, or wait until it was inside the fence? Sometimes exceptions have to be allowed, or the situation could escalate. His intentions were made very clear that he wasn't just roaming, but was doing his job protecting...and the fence just happened to be in the way of doing it. Kudos to Cowboy and a few more treats for being the LGD that ya always knew he could be....
Just wanted to post this terrible pic of one of my favorite babies this year. I've never had a goat marked this way - I don't even know how to describe her except that she looks like a dirty blonde goat. She's not dirty- just dark spots on a light colored goat.
